3. For topping, in a small mixing bowl combine bread crumbs, remaining 1/4 cup of the Romano or Parmesan cheese, garlic, and melted margarine or butter; sprinkle atop casserole. Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degrees F oven for 35 minutes or until heated through. Makes 6 servings.
A casserole or stew is designed to be made with the lesser cuts of meat which takes time, but doesn't mean you have to hover over the stove. To make a quick one you will need quick cooking cuts.
